I swear my next ring will be a different colour...what can I say, I love pink!!

Several years ago, Gene at Precision Gem tweeted a pic of this stone (the one where it’s loose below). He was planning to recut it and send to a lab. I emailed him about it over the next while, we discussed ways it might be recut to reduce the big belly and remove the small window. We weren’t sure what the best course of action was. Eventually, I saw the stone in person and I liked it as is. It reminds me a bit of an antique cushion. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with a belly.
David Klass had it a while while I came up with some funds and tried to find some OECs I could salvage somewhere. I gave up on that, and it turned out he could source them anyway.
So here is my pink sapphire in 1.07 ctw of G/VS OECs, at its most subdued, and its brightest.

Oh this ring is spectacular
Pinkalicious!!!

Love, love, love it!

 

[springerspaniel]

This is so perfect, and I know what you mean about being able to see the little culets, just knowing they are OECs!

Thank you! I certainly feel like a princess wearing it with my pyjamas.

Thanks to all for your kind comments. I know there is so much going on right now, that it feels a little frivolous for a ring to make me happy, but it certainly has brought joy to my week.

I can’t believe I missed this thread. What an amazing ring, @NKOTB! You made the perfect decisions and it suits you so well. What a stunner!!! I hope you are still enjoying it thoroughly!

BTW, I still love the Mahenge spinel with butterflies ring I got from you. I wear it often and it is one of my prettiest rings. Thanks again!

I’m so glad you’re getting a lot of wear out if it. It’s one of the few pieces I must say that I regret selling somewhat. Alas...we can’t wear all the things, all the time...
